Juliette Gray Trio - Lush Life With a Twist

About a year ago Juliette decided to collaborate with top LA musicians to bring about a spoken word version of Lush Life – a masterpiece in the jazz repertoire. At that time this was intended to be a bonus track for Gary Gray’s upcoming CD with Centaur Records – SHADES OF GRAY.

Since then, this project has evolved into more than the sum of its parts and by the early response it is clear that the images evoked by the lyrics of songs from the Great American Songbook which combine poetry, story telling and haunting melodies are ideal candidates for the expressiveness of the spoken word. The group's next song BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED is in the works.

This is the first in a series of spoken word+music to some of the masterpieces of the Great American Songbook - illustrating how spoken word to these magnificent and poetic lyrics accompanied by the original music adds a listening dimension not possible by singing. As a bonus track Lush Life Straight Up offers a reprise of the music with the solos of these wonderful musicians.
